Title: Real-world challenges in severe atopic dermatitis: expert insights and practical approaches
Overview: Severe atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic condition requiring long-term treatment and management. In the last five years, new treatments have become available that target the underlying pathophysiology of AD. Management and treatment decisions for patients with severe AD require a balance between the benefits of treatment and the risk of adverse events over the short and long term. These considerations may also change over time as a patient moves from childhood to adolescence, and to adulthood.
In this, the first event in the ADVENT medical education series for 2025, our expert speaker and panel will utilise case-based examples and discuss long-term treatment, and patient-related considerations such as pregnancy and vaccination when treating and managing patients with severe AD.
Speakers: A/Prof. Li-Chuen Wong (Chair) – A/Prof. Gayle Ross (Speaker) – A/Prof. Michelle Rodrigues (Panelist)
Cost: No cost to attend, please register your attendance via the main registration form during the registration process.
